Which is the best to eat? I usually have basmati rice once a week but was wondering if couscous would be better. I only have brown bread at breakfast with a boiled egg and no pototos or pasta with any meal.
Any Ideas?

couscous is a form of pasta.As to which is best for you, only you can find that by testing.

Suzi,

I couldn't decide myself, I like them both. They both rate the same on the gi scale, basmati rice is 58 and couscous is 61, both in the medium range.

As you know, it all depends on portion size, best to test after eating to determine which impacts the most on your bg's.
